Return to the original list

1. Mignon  [sung text not yet checked]
by Adolf Reichel (1820 - 1896), "Mignon", op. 72 (Drei Lieder für vierstimmigen gemischten Chor) no. 1, published 1883 [ chorus a cappella ], Leipzig, Leuckart
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Kennst du das Land? wo die Citronen blühn,
Im dunkeln Laub die [Gold-Orangen]1 glühn,
Ein sanfter Wind vom blauen Himmel weht, 
Die Myrte still und hoch der Lorbeer steht,
Kennst du es wohl?
                   Dahin! Dahin
Möcht' ich mit dir, o mein Geliebter, ziehn.

Kennst du das Haus? Auf Säulen ruht sein Dach,
Es glänzt der Saal, es schimmert das Gemach,
Und Marmorbilder stehn und sehn mich an:
Was hat man Dir, du armes Kind, gethan?
Kennst du es wohl? 
                   Dahin! Dahin
Möcht' ich mit dir, o mein Beschützer, ziehn.

Kennst du den Berg und seinen Wolkensteg?
Das Maulthier sucht im Nebel seinen Weg;
In [Höhlen]2 wohnt der Drachen alte Brut;
Es stürzt der Fels und über ihn die Flut.
Kennst du [ihn]3 wohl?
                    Dahin! Dahin
Geht unser Weg! o Vater, laß uns ziehn!4

1. Conosci tu il paese
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Conosci tu il paese dai bei limoni in fiore,
D'oro splendono arance in mezzo a foglie scure,
Dal cielo azzurro soffia una mite brezza,
Alto cresce l'alloro e il mirto quieto olezza?
Dimmi, tu lo conosci?
Laggiù! Laggiù io
Vorrei andare con te, o dolce amato mio!

Conosci tu il palazzo? Colonne reggono il tetto.
Luminose le stanze, hanno splendido aspetto,
Statue di bianco marmo sembrano domandare:
Oh povera fanciulla, chi ti ha fatto soffrire?
Dimmi tu lo conosci?
Laggiù! Laggiù io,
Vorrei andare con te, o difensore mio!

E tu conosci il monte coi suoi alti sentieri?
Li percorrono i muli, fra le nebbie, sicuri;
In spelonche dimorano Draghi di antica stirpe,
Scrosciante cade l'acqua sopra ripida rupe!
Dimmi tu lo conosci?
Laggiù! Laggiù io
Percorrerò la strada con te, o padre mio!

Confirmed with Goethe's Werke. Vollständige Ausgabe letzter Hand. Erster Band. Stuttgart und Tübingen, in der J.G.Cotta'schen Buchhandlung. 1827, page 109; and with Goethe's Werke. Erster Band. Stuttgart und Tübingen, in der J. G. Cotta'schen Buchhandlung. 1815, page 99.

Note: in many older editions, the spelling of the capitalized word "über" becomes "Ueber", but this is often due to the printing process and not to rules of orthography, since the lower-case version is not "ueber", so we use "Über".

See also J.D. Falk's poem Unter allen Wipfeln ist Ruh.

1 Flügel, Gaugler, Hasse, Radecke: "Wipfeln" (according to the incipits given in Hofmeister) ; further changes may exist not noted above.
2 Greith, Schubert: "Vöglein"
3 Lachner adds
Über allen Wipfeln
Ist Ruh',
Balde
Ruhest du auch.

by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)
2. Sopra ogni vetta
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Sopra ogni vetta
È pace,
Su ogni albero
senti tu
appena un respiro;
Gli uccelli  tacciono nel bosco,
aspetta, presto
avrai pace anche tu!
